“Charlottesville Police and Virginia State Police are on the scene of a three vehicle accident at Water and 4th Streets in Downtown Charlottesville,” the Charlottesville Police Department confirmed.

After police in riot gear dispersed crowds ahead of the “Unite the Right” following an eruption of violent clashes between white supremacists and anti-racists demonstrators, counter-protestors assembled in Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall. Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, D, had earlier declared a state of emergency following the violent eruption.
